| 9 | DESCRIPTION vs\b\b__ | |
| 10 | accepts phoneme descriptor lists and translates them into | |
| 11 | byte strings suitable for the Federal Screw Works Voice | |
| 12 | Synthesizer. | |
| 13 | Phoneme descritors should be separated by commas and | |
| 14 | have the general form "%NIxx" | |
| 15 | where "xx" is a one or two character phoneme name, | |
| 16 | "I" is an optional inflection parameter, | |
| 17 | and "%N" is an optional count of the number of times | |
| 18 | the phoneme is to be repeated (maximum 9). | |
| 19 | "I" can have the values 0, 1, 2, 3 representing decreasing | |
| 20 | strength (default is 2). | |
| 21 | A description of the phonemes and their names can be | |
| 22 | found in the file vsp\b\b\b___(VII). | |
| 23 | For example, | |
| 24 | .in +5 | |
| 25 | .sp | |
| 26 | a0,o1,t,r,1ai,1ay,d,j,ih,u1,%2s | |
| 27 | .sp | |
| 28 | .in-5 | |
| 29 | will generate the word "outrageous". | |
| 30 | The output is buffered; | |
| 31 | a newline will cause the buffered output to be | |
| 32 | sent to the Voice Synthesizer. | |
